November 2023, I posted on Threads wanting to have more authors come on the podcast. One of those who threw their hat into the ring was Myka Silber. A little over a year later, and I had the pleasure of getting to have them on! Myka talks first about how they started down the author path, from their first writings back in high school, to pandemic lock down writing and self publishing, to their latest works, "Rider's Blood, Moonlit Black", and "The Pigment Thief" We explore "Rider's Blood, Moonlit Black" more in depth, as I read that late last year. We explore how Myka came up the world and characters in this book, and developing it into what it became. Seriously a good read. We wrap up with talking about what's coming next from Myka, and how you can stay up to date with what they are doing. You can find Myka at: https://www.threads.net/@myka.silber https://www.instagram.com/myka.silber/ https://linktr.ee/mykasilber https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/23037288.Myka_Silber You can buy Rider's Blood, Moonlit Black at: https://amzn.to/4gmCDek

Hello and welcome to our holiday episode of Celluloid Pudding. Wherever you are on the globe and however you celebrate this time of year, we wish you love, our heartfelt thanks, and good wishes. This time we--your co-hosts Beth and Sam--decided to discuss a beautiful Korean film called Moonlit Winter. The setting is chilly and wintry, but the heart and soul of the film is warm, complex, generational and lovely. This film is truly poetry in motion. We hope you will come along for the ride and also think about renting the film after our discussion. We do have some bonus content that is a little out there. Waaaay out there, concerning the phenomena hovering over New Jersey and elsewhere. We lead with the so-called orbs, but then get down to business with our snow treasure, Moonlit Winter. A very heartfelt Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Winter Season to all of you from both of us. You mean the world to us.

This week on Anime Pulse we got vtuber awards, anime dragging its feet, and dancing moments. Up first IRL news has Joseph going back to the gym, and Andrew attended a big fighting game event with some of the top player in the world. Then in the industry news the vtuber awards just wrapped up and announced the winner, and Japanese artists on X are up in arms over blackface being applied to Dandadan. Lastly in the reviews Joseph wades through a really lackluster series of events in a fantasy anime to get to the good stuff, and Andrew brews up a barrel of whisky that will be aged for at least 15 years.
